Salome, the mother of the sons of Zebedee, was a different Salome who had the Baptist killed. The Salome who had him killed, did so at her mother's request.
The bible does not say why, but one thing is clear from the bible, John and Jesus were cousins. As Mary and Johns mother Elizabeth were cousins.
Johns mother was Elizabeth the cousin of Mary the mother of Jesus. john was beheaded by king Herod and Jesus was crucified by the Romans on the cross.
The angel Gabriel spoke to Elizabeth , Johns mother, you can say he brought the message.
There 5 Johns, John the Baptist , John the apostle, John in the family of a high priest, The father of apostle John and the Hebrew name of the evangelist, Mark.
Johns father was Zachariah, yes he was a priest.
The mother of John the Baptist was Elizabeth
Here the question is not at all clear , as to which John are you talking about here? If it is about John the baptist then they had something very much in common as they were cousins, both Jesus mother Mary and Johns mother Elizabeth were actually first cousins. Both were working for God.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth was the mother of John the Baptist, not the son.
WHICH St. John is the person referring to? John the Baptist? John the Apostle? Or one of many, many other St. Johns.
Herodias hated John the baptist. when her daughter did a dance for king Herod he was so delighted that he told her to ask for anything and she would get it. She then asked her mother what to ask for. The mother said ask for Johns head on a silver plate. So John was beheaded , and the head was brought on a plate.
John the Baptist.
